Marion Robert Morrison, better known by his stage name
John Wayne, was an American film actor, director and
producer.

He
epitomized rugged masculinity and has become an enduring
American icon. He is famous for his distinctive voice,
walk and height. The title means "danger"
in Swahili, which was mentioned in the film as well.

Portraying a group of hunters, the film presents an
interesting if antiquated portrait of Africa still dominated
by non-Africans.

chases and the magnificent backdrop scenery of Mount
Meru, a dormant volcano.
